Sheryl McGavin. Girl, without you, Easy Cheese, and Triscuits, this book never would have made deadline. I hope you know how important your friendship is to me. After six books and countless bottles of wine …

Trena, Becky, Rhonda, Cherry, Leanne, and Ames—for being great friends and sounding boards. I am blessed in my friendships, so even if you don’t see your name here, know that I adore you and that there is only so much ink in the world.

To all the wonderful people who put information on the Internet. Remembering what Web page I’ve browsed is not one of my skill sets, so I’ll give a shout out here.

To my family—I love you guys! The reason I get a kick out of writing about families is that I have a great one.

And to the staff at Medallion Press. “Thank you” is not enough. The artwork is phenomenal, the editors terrific.
